“Stay grounded, stay focused. It doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as you don’t lose sight of your goals! My role as an investments product manager has broadened my perspectives and enabled me to plan my family finances more prudently. Having been through the 2008 global financial crisis, I have learnt to be always prepared for the unexpected by setting aside enough for rainy days.” - Jessica Goh, Product Manager #IWD2019 #BalanceforBetter #BalancethruLearning
“My approach to achieve work life balance is to be 100% present wherever I am. When I’m with my family, I devote my attention fully to them and when I am at work, I try to be as productive as I can. I also make sure I have time for myself, and I pamper myself by baking during the weekends.” Pragati Vaswani, Treasury Advisor #IWD2019 #BalanceforBetter #BalancethruLearning
Lena Lim (Centre) and Wendy Tan (right) were music teachers with studios across the hall from each other when their paths crossed more than thirty years ago. They became friends, then business partners, opening Josiah Montessori in the 90s. And on International Women’s Day last week, together with partners, colleagues, our head of emerging business, global commercial banking, Christie Chu (left), and our serial entrepreneur team, Lena and Wendy officially launched their new early childhood education brand My Learning Haven! Despite My Learning Haven being a new business, Lena and Wendy were able to get a loan even before incorporation on the strength of their past successes, which helped it become a reality just 1 year after the pair decided to develop this idea. #OCBCxSMEs #IWD2019
“We should always take charge of our own lives and career. I have never looked back since taking the leap to be a Management Associate after 2 years of being a Relationship Manager because that decision has opened up a lot of opportunities for me and it has moulded me into the woman I am today.” - Danielle Soh, Product Manager #IWD2019 #BalanceforBetter #BalancethruLearning
She was scuba diving when she saw the harmful effects of plastics on marine life first-hand. He was leading 300 OCBC volunteers on a coastal clean-up and they collected 1,500 kg of waste in 3 hours. Nakul and Amelia are so passionate about reducing single-use plastics that they are now affectionately known to their colleagues as the “Plastics Police”. In 2017 they introduced use of biodegradable cups amongst all their colleagues in the consumer banking division. Today, customers and visitors at all our branches are served water using these biodegradable cups, saving approximately 5,000 kg of plastic waste each year. “We’re glad we have supportive colleagues who support our call to protect the environment. Persistence over the years makes a difference,” shared Amelia. #OCBCCares #PeopleOfOCBC
Congratulations to Eunice Ng and Phua Shiling from our Compass One branch, who were awarded in December last year with a Certificate of Appreciation by the Singapore Police Force for successfully preventing a scam. Eunice, a Customer Service Manager, was alerted to a customer's unusual behaviour by Shiling, a bank teller. The customer had been depositing large amounts into her account and remitting funds to a Thai bank account belonging to someone she claimed was her cousin. On the customer’s fourth visit to the branch to make a funds transfer to the same Thai bank account, Eunice and Shiling finally convinced the customer to make a police report. Eunice personally accompanied the customer to a nearby police station and even waited with the customer until her report was filed. Unfortunately, by this time, a total of $4,500 had already been remitted $in three previous transactions to the scammer. Thanks to Eunice and Shiling’s vigilance, the customer was prevented from losing more than $10,000 to this love scam. Thanks for being Simply Spot On in placing the interest and well-being
